California has lost over 500,000 jobs to China alone, we need to balance trade with China, they need to buy our stuff. Their people need jobs, and our people need jobs too! If they want us to buy their stuff, then they need to buy our stuff.
The Chinese need to buy California wine, and California cheese, and Florida orange juice, and Kentucky Bourbon, and Idaho frozen French fries, and other products from the USA, we have great stuff, it is not punishing them by making them buy our stuff. They will love American products. And China loves McDonald's.
Americans are great at marketing and advertising, and the Chinese already love McDonald's, we can sell them stuff the same way that we sell them Big Macs at McDonald's.
We just need to be able to get our goods into the Chinese markets without the high tariffs so our goods are competitively priced, and we need to be able to do advertising there on their televisions and radios and newspapers, etc. We are great at marketing and advertising and at selling stuff. We can easily sell our stuff in China if we are allowed to.

T.V. What if them there Chinese do not wish to get drunk on California wine and Kentucky bourbon? Or get obese on Idaho French Fries and Fatty Big Macs from McDonalds?
I wouldn't eat a BigMac if it were given to me and I was hungry, that's how bad they are!
Market to the Chinese things that fit THEIR culture, quite trying to make them assimilate to ours.
Self-determination. That's the ticket.
In leadership training one learns to build on one's strengths. And also it is similar to when one opens an Italian restaurant in Anaheim, the locals love Italian food. The Chinese love McDonald's, so that is one of our strengths, we can build on that. You build on your strengths, that model works in China. And we have products that the people in other nations would love to be able to buy.
We need to balance trade. We need jobs too, our streets are lined with homeless people and we have new immigrants arriving every day who need jobs. And you build on your strengths.
You do not build detention centers and call those job creation. Fuck those jobs.
I would rather have a nice winery making wine, and employing immigrants, and making cheese with milk from my own cows. See, that is how one must think to survive and rise. And it would be great if I could export products to China. (And it would be cool to be able to sell Italian wine in China too.)
And it is like when Guns and Roses goes to Japan, they love American music in Japan. Music is one of America's strengths.
Right now the Chinese markets are not open to our goods, they have McDonald's and other American companies doing business there, but the USA has so much more to sell to the Chinese besides soybeans. We have great stuff that the Chinese will like. We need for the Chinese markets to be open to American products, plain and simple. They need to be fair on trade.

Our biggest strength, Tony, is selling the instruments of war around the world.
War is America's top business enterprise.....military bases around the world, ships sailing
Around the world, satellites keeping watch around the world.
We have been on a war footing since 1940 and continue to arm everyone in the Middle East with
Hardware. Before we took over Afghanistan and Iraq we were arming them with weapons.
We have no problem arming both sides in a conflict, see Iran-Iraq.
Putin just sold weapons to Turkei to the US's detriment. But not to worry, Trump will get his cut
from this deal.
Sorry, Tony, if I do not share your concern that enough California wine is being consumed in China.
A healthy peacetime economy breeds further peace, whereas a bad economy, such as the Great Depression lead to bad times such as World War II. People who are poor and starving are easier puppets to play against the wealthy, etc.
In Nicaragua, if the people were wealthy like modern Costa Rica then they never would have fought against each other. The people were poor and starving, so they were easy puppets.
If the economy is good, then it is better for peace. And certainly a good economy promotes less suffering, people are healthier, and people are more comfortable. Comfortable people are less likely to want to go to war.
A healthy peacetime economy is a good thing.
And I would love to see the people of Nicaragua happy.
Expanding peacetime trade with China would be good for everyone. Right now it is lop-sided, and we must not stand for it, we need fair and balanced trade.
And for Afghanistan, they should grow cotton, like Egypt, and they can make stuff from the cotton, and they can export stuff around the world. Afghanistan could have a great peacetime economy.
